Ocracoke 20 with closed transom and bracket

[captnemo]

I have just completed my 2nd hull and it is a 20ft Carolina with a closed transom and bracket.  

 

I am thinking about starting the Ocracoke 20 but only if it can be modified for a closed transom and a bracket.  I know I can modify on the fly to make it work, but would like others input on this as far as additional structure and performance of the boat, any major issues that would prevent this from being successful?

 

Thanks

I talked to Graham about it, as I am considering the same thing. The short answer is Yes. It would be worth dropping Graham a line just to be sure.
